3. Get a cut

or style after a break-up

Hair follicles are said to carry the cellular memory of our past. So after a

relationship break-up, we often intuitively visit the hair salon and sport a new look to let go of the past. This helps us mark

the end of a chapter, and is also why Australian aboriginals cut their

hair when someone close to them has died.

2. Go to

bed earlyAn imbalanced root chakra could

be one of the reasons for unhealthy hair. This is because this chakra

governs our intuition, which is affected by our connection with the lunar

cycle. You should aim to sleep before the heightened moon energy time (which begins at 10pm and lasts

until 2am), to enhance your psychic abilities and

hair health.

1. Embrace

your moon timeWomen are said to be more psychic

during menstruation (otherwise known as their moon time), when they release the old energy their body has carried and prepare for reconnection to Mother Earth’s fertility that they will carry into the next month.In some indigenous cultures, women gather in moon lodges with friends during this

time to brush, braid and colour one another’s hair to represent this

time of change.

4. To trim,

or not to trim?The best time to trim or cut your

hair to promote growth is during the two weeks leading up to a full moon when the lunar energy is building. The best days are

when the moon is moving through one of the three earth signs (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn), as these are times that promote new growth cycles in your

hair follicles that promote extra thickness.
